Naturally, digging up the mountain beans was only one aspect. Another aspect was that Zhao Hai wanted the children to get close to nature. Then he would take them to see the plants that he talked about the other day.
Being a Plant Master was a profession that couldn't be taught by books all the time. You must get close to nature, not only because it would speed up your cultivation, but also because it would allow you to understand plants more. If a Plant Master couldn't understand plants, then he wouldn't be a good Plant Master. If you communicate with plants more often, then it would be easier for you to communicate with them. Because of this, besides digging up the mountain beans, Zhao Hai also wanted the children to communicate with the plants.
Although these children hadn't communicated with plants before, they now had natural energy in their bodies. Although having natural energy didn't necessarily mean that they could communicate with plants, having natural energy made it easier for them to communicate with plants. This was the reason why they were able to do so.
They stayed in the wilderness for three days. During this time, they spent one day digging up the mountain beans. Then Zhao Hai began to have the children communicate with the plants. At the same time, he also had them get to know all kinds of plants.
After three days, the group returned to the Manor. After returning to the Manor, Zhao Hai immediately had Yu Quan lead the group to flatten one mu of land. Yu Quan flattened two mu of land. One mu was for Zhao Hai while the other was for alfalfa.
Zhao Hai didn't stop Yu Quan. In fact, Zhao Hai didn't think of this method that Wu Yu proposed. But after Wu Yu said it, Zhao Hai felt that this method was very feasible.
After the land was flattened, Zhao Hai led the children to plant the mountain beans. As for the alfalfa, he didn't need to worry about it.
After the land was flattened, Zhao Hai began to lead the children to plant the mountain beans. Then he taught them how to use their natural energy to improve the mountain beans. In this process, the mountain beans grew faster. Although the children didn't have a lot of natural energy in their bodies, their recovery speed was very fast. Therefore, in just a few days, all the mountain beans were harvested.
And this time, the mountain beans had obvious changes. Each and every one of them was the size of a walnut, which was a lot bigger than before.
Naturally, the yield was higher. In the past, the mountain beans were only a few hundred jin per mu. But now, the yield was a lot higher, almost reaching a thousand jin.
Zhao Hai and the others tasted the mountain beans. The astringent taste was a lot lighter, but it was still edible. Especially after being roasted, not only did the astringent taste become lighter, but it also revealed a trace of sweetness.
This discovery made the children and Yu Quan very happy. However, Zhao Hai wasn't too happy. The next day, he had Yu Quan lead the group to the mountain bean field. Then he lit the withered stalks and sprinkled the ashes in the field. After that, they began a new round of sowing.
This time, Zhao Hai didn't intervene too much. He just directed from the side. He mainly let the children be responsible and give them an opportunity to experiment. After a few days, the mountain beans were sown and the children began to improve the mountain beans.
Naturally, the children were much slower in improving the mountain beans. It took them more than ten days to improve the mountain beans. During this process, the children's understanding of natural energy became more thorough.
After the mountain beans were harvested, everyone was shocked. This was because the mountain beans that were harvested were already as small as a child's fist. Moreover, a single mountain bean can bear several mountain beans. This time, the harvest was very big, the yield reached more than two thousand jin.
The yield of two thousand jin per mu made Yu Quan so happy that he almost went crazy. He immediately brought some mountain beans back to the city and had Yu Jinglin eat them. The current Shan Dou was different from the previous ones. The current Shan Dou didn't have any astringent taste. Especially after it was cooked, it didn't have any astringent taste. Instead, it had a sweet fragrance. This was very rare. The harvest of this one mu of land was almost equal to the harvest of several mu of corn.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't satisfied. He followed the previous method and improved the mountain beans. After sowing them, the harvest doubled. The yield reached more than three thousand jin per mu, almost four thousand jin.
When the yield came out, Yu Jinglin couldn't sit still. He directly ran to the villa and looked at the mountain beans. His face was flushed red, he was too excited. He didn't think that after the improvement, the yield would be so high. No wonder Zhao Hai said that the growth potential of the mountain beans was limitless.
Zhao Hai stood beside Yu Jinglin and said, "City Lord, don't look at the high yield of the mountain beans. In fact, if people eat them often, they won't starve to death. Their nutrition won't be able to keep up, and they will become very thin. Therefore, the mountain beans can only be used as a transitional food. It can't be used as a regular food, unless it's supplemented with meat."
Yu Jinglin didn't mind as he waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? How many people starve to death every year? I don't have the mood to care about them. It's better to be thin than to starve to death."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "City Lord, you can see that the nearby alfalfa has also sprouted. This alfalfa grows very fast, I believe that it won't take long before it can be used to raise rabbits. If we can raise rabbits, then the food problem of the Mixed Spirit Continent would be solved. However, there is still some room for improvement. I want to have people try to plant it first. This time, I won't allow any Plant Master Apprentice to participate, just let ordinary people try to plant it and see how it works. Now that we have harvested these alfalfa, we can plant about a thousand mu of land. If the City Lord agrees, then we can use a thousand mu of land as an experiment and leave this one mu for improvement. What does the City Lord think about this?"
What do you think? "Yu Jinglin stared for a moment, then he said," Mister, is it right to plant it at this time? "
Zhao Hai replied, "That's enough. There are still four months before winter, and it would take about three months for the beans to mature. As long as Sir can plant a thousand mu of beans within a month, the beans would be harvested during winter." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's enough. Winter is still around.
Yu Jinglin clapped his hands and said, "This official will do it. If this experiment is successful, then we can pave a new path. In the future, no one in the Mixed Spirit Continent will starve to death. This official will immediately go back and gather people to plant these mountain beans."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "The mountain beans in the courtyard will be given to Mister to plant. We only need one mu of seeds. There's one more thing that needs to be made clear to Mister. The planting of these mountain beans is actually very simple. As long as there's a hole in the mountain beans, you can cut the meat and use it as a seed. This way, one mountain bean can carry several mountain beans. Because of this, Mister needs to have people cut the mountain beans first."
When Yu Jinglin heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, is this method really possible? Can the mountain beans be planted after cutting them open? "
"Of course, we've already tested this. Mister can rest assured." Zhao Hai replied.
Yu Jinglin nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll immediately prepare it. Mister, I'll leave the matter of improvement to you. Right, Mister, do you know how to treat diseases?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I do. Actually, as a plant master, treating diseases is part of my job. This is because the natural energy of a plant master is very gentle, it can be used to treat diseases."
"Good, that's great. I'll have to ask Mister to teach other people as well. In the future, when the rabbits are raised, I'll have to ask Mister to take a look at them and teach the people who raise the rabbits. What do you think?"
"No problem, this is a small matter. Mister can rest assured."
Yu Jinglin cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Then I'll have to thank Mister. Mister, I'll have to go back and arrange for the mountain beans to be planted. I'll take my leave first. Mister, please go back and rest."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, Mister, you don't need to worry about my people." Yu Jinglin cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai before turning around and leaving.
When Zhao Hai returned to the villa, he had Yu Quan look for people to dig several large underground kilns. Yu Quan didn't quite understand what Zhao Hai wanted to do, but he still followed Zhao Hai's instructions and began to dig the kilns.
The kilns were dug nearly ten meters deep before they stopped. Zhao Hai had them reinforce the kilns so that they wouldn't break down. Then he had people move the beans into the kilns.
After the beans were moved into the kilns, Zhao Hai told Yu Quan that although the yield of the beans was high, it wasn't easy to store them. If you don't store them well, then the beans would go bad. When that time comes, the beans can't be eaten.
On the other hand, the Shan Beans were different when placed in this big cellar. This cellar was very deep, but it was very dry inside. Moreover, it could be maintained at a very stable temperature. If the Shan Beans were placed in this cellar, they could be stored for several months.
When Yu Quan heard Zhao Hai, he was completely convinced. Zhao Hai had considered everything clearly. This was really rare. They thought that there wouldn't be any problems with storing the beans. But now it seems like they were thinking too simply.
A few days after Zhao Hai and the others moved the beans into the kilns, Yu Jinglin personally brought people to the villa. Then they began to flatten the land. The half-dead corn on the land was directly cut down. Then they began to plow the land. This work took about ten days. Then they began to cut the beans according to Zhao Hai's instructions. After cutting the beans, they began to plant them. This time, it only took five days for the 1000 mu of beans to be planted.
Although the people who followed Yu Quan didn't understand why Yu Quan cut down the fine corn, they still followed him. After all, this 1000 mu of land belonged to Yu Quan. He could do whatever he wanted with it. This was also where Yu Quan was smart. If he dared to move the other lands to plant these beans, then there would be people who would rebel.
